“I loved keeping it secret. I was able to get over my ethical, moral dilemma with whether this is a lie that is justifiable. Is this actually a lie, or is this just a fun gift I’m giving to people?” Andrew told the mag.

Andrew said that he was “obsessed with what” co-star Tobey Maguire was doing in the film.

“I have a full heart here, where I want Tobey to be impressed by me,” he said. “I want him to be my older brother/mentor figure and to tell me I’m doing a good job. I want to compete with him. I want to better him. I want to rib him, have fun with him.”
